Welcome to planDisney Nancy! Thank you for sending in your question. How exciting that you’ll be visiting
Walt Disney World Resort at the same time as another family! It sounds like you’re planning to make the most of your visit by using the Lightning Lane Multi Pass, and I’d be happy to help you understand how both families can coordinate your selections so you can enjoy the same attractions together without one person having to handle all the bookings.
Each Guest (or each family) will need to purchase their own
Lightning Lane Multi Pass individually in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. Purchases are made per person, so each member of your travel party can buy it for themselves, or one adult can handle the purchase for their immediate family. Once both families have completed their purchases, the key step is to make sure you are connected through the
Family & Friends List in My Disney Experience.
Being connected in Family & Friends allows everyone in your linked group to see and include each other when making plans. After both families have purchased their Multi Passes, one person can make Lightning Lane selections for the entire group, even though each family paid separately. This ensures that everyone receives the same return times for attractions, making it easy to ride together.
This approach offers the best of both worlds: each family manages their own purchase and payment, but you still enjoy the convenience of booking together as one coordinated group. It’s a simple way to keep your plans in sync and make the most of your magical day at Walt Disney World!
Nancy, I hope this helps you feel ready to make the most of your Lightning Lane Multi Pass experience. With a little coordination and the help of your Family & Friends List, you’ll be set to enjoy all your favorite attractions side by side without any stress. Thank you so much for visiting planDisney with your question. Wishing both of your families a magical visit filled with laughter, unforgettable memories, and plenty of pixie dust along the way!
